Service Features

file.kiwi is an encrypted file-transfer service built around shareable Webfolders. Recipients can open a shared link in a browser without signing in or installing an app.

»Web Folder Basic

  • You can start a transfer from file.kiwi without signing up. Signed-in users can create shared, delivery, or submission folders from the Dashboard.
  • The web uploader does not impose a fixed per-file size cap, but the practical limit depends on the browser, device storage, memory, network, and recipient environment.
  • A passwordless Basic folder allows up to 3 completed downloads per file. A password-protected folder removes this count limit.
  • Free download availability is 48 hours for files under 10 GB, 12 hours for files from 10 GB to under 20 GB, and 6 hours for files of 20 GB or more.
  • After free availability ends, a Download Pass or expiry postponement is required. Basic files are automatically deleted 90 hours after upload.
  • A Basic folder is automatically deleted after 30 days of inactivity.

»Web Folder+

  • Web Folder+ requires sign-in and prepaid Upload-GB capacity.
  • The folder is kept permanently. Each uploaded file is available for 7 days and can be extended in 7-day increments by spending capacity equal to the file size.
  • Download count and transfer size are not limited by the plan.

»Encryption and privacy

Files and file names are encrypted in the browser with end-to-end 128-bit AES-GCM before upload. The secret after # in the shared URL is not sent to the server, so keep the complete link safe. Illegal content can still be reported and handled under the service policy.
